In recent times, the urbanisation of Australia has lead to a vast increase in higher density living. One can not help but notice the increasing number of apartments, duplexes and community title schemes that have spread across New South Wales.
In conjunction with this change in Australian building culture, an area of law commonly referred to as Strata Law has developed which focuses on the variety of legal issues surrounding shared interest living such as building disputes, management disputes, continued development and changes to by-laws or rules.
